Phishing is a targeted attempt by an individual or group (team) to solicit information from unsuspected users by employing social engineering techniques. Social engineering is an art of deceptive behavior to trick a user into divulging information that is sought, and then used against that person or the organization they are employed by. Every day, thousands of crafted emails are sent to their respective targets. Everyday, more and more users fall victim to these scams. Phishing is not only conducted by email, but by text message as well.
